Good to know

Comfort is paramount. From mindful mattress selection to cushy outdoor furniture, we've taken every detail into account to create an optimal experience for our guests. Bedrooms: Queen bedroom on the main level across from a bathroom with shower. King bedroom tucked away on the lower level with a peekaboo lake view. The bathroom on this level has a tub/shower. Also on the lower level, is a family/tv room with a bunk space. From the family room, sliding glass doors lead out to a screened porch for bug-free dining and lounging. The kitchen is the hub of the cabin with a large island and lake views. You'll have everything you need to do as much or as little cooking as you prefer. Espresso maker, French press, coffee grinder, KitchenAid mixer, blender, quality knives and cookware with all the tools needed to help you cook with ease. The dining table looks out to lake and mountain views, and seats 6 (4 more at the island). The living room is a cozy space to unwind, with a gas fireplace and comfy sectional. We provide s’mores makings and firewood for the campfire! Roast a marshmallow at the fire pit and gaze at the stars. Our swimming beach is pebbly and perfect for launching watercraft as well as for children to swim. It’s pretty shallow and protected from big wake, only about 4 feet at the deepest point- gently sloped for little swimmers. Our outdoor gear is all available for guests to play on the lake. Kayaks, paddleboards, life jackets, and canoe. You'll have two docks for your boat. Plenty of outdoor seating on the deck overlooking the lake, screened porch on lower level, near the beach. You’ll love our peaceful bay! Please, note: Flathead Lake is fed by melting snowpack. This means the water levels of the lake vary depending on the season. Water levels begin to recede in October/November and the melting snowpack begins to refill the lake in April/May. During late spring, there is usually no water or snow directly in front of the house. Our bay is still a tranquil getaway, but please know the water levels change with the seasons. We look forward to sharing this little bit of heaven with you!!

Other Details to Note

We have baby gear, toys, dishes, kid's life jackets, beach toys, etc. please let us know if you would like any of these items, and we'll be sure to have them ready for you. We have kids and have made the cabin a kid-friendly zone. Pricing for this cabin is seasonal. Check out our The Flathead Lake Retreat website for direct booking option.

Accessibility and Availability

Neighborhood

Our quaint little town of Lakeside, just 4 miles to the north, has great options for coffee, breakfast, baked goods, casual and fine dining, and a grocery store. If you decide to venture up north, Whitefish Mountain Resort offers fun outdoor activities for all ages: zipline, alpine slides, gondola rides, mountain biking, huckleberry picking, and hiking. The picturesque little town of Whitefish boasts fun little shops and great dining. For all of the basics, Kalispell is a 30 minute drive away. Target, Costco, bigger grocery stores, library, etc. Bigfork, a pretty 30 minute drive around the top of Flathead Lake, is a cute village full of art shops, local theatre, and great dining options. Last but not least, Glacier National Park is a must-see. It is difficult to describe how stunning and awe inspiring it is...if you've never been, you'll have to make the 50-minute drive to see for yourself. So much to explore. Spectacular hiking. Stop at Eddie's for a scoop of huckleberry ice-cream on the shores of Lake McDonald. We look forward to sharing our little slice of heaven with you and hope you make some good memories!

My husband and I stayed here with our three kids and had a fantastic time! It was our first time to Montana, the fall colors were gorgeous and the property had everything we could think of! We stayed a couple of days just at the house to play! Loved the recommendations for places to eat and things to do. Wanting to return someday!Thank you!!

This was by far my best Airbnb stay! We stayed here for our elopement (Glaciers National Park) From the very beginning Jenna was amazing. So responsive and so helpful. We had never been to this state and she recommended so many places. She was truly my saving grace. Just so kind and helpful! The home oh my it was perfect! The location 10000/10. She literally has everything you need in one place. We will certainly be back. She even left us a cute Happy Elopement note! I literally don’t have a single negative thing to say about Jenna nor the home. Worth every cent!

We enjoyed our lovely stay at Jenna’s lakeside home. It was impeccably clean, cozy, and peaceful. She was a welcoming and responsive host. Nothing but great things to say about the set up.

12/10 on recommending this home as a place to stay. Everything was so perfect, and Jenna had everything we could ever need and more. Everything detail was so thorough and thoughtful. The kayaks were our favorite activity and the views are just unmatched. Would recommend to anyone!

Our family of six (plus an infant) had a fabulous time at the Flathead Lakehouse. It had everything we could have asked for plus more. Jenna's quick response to all our questions and requests was so appreciated. We would love to return!

We had a wonderful 4-day stay at this beautiful lake house in Montana with our 11-year-old son. The home is stunning—thoughtfully built and very well maintained, with high ceilings and a glass wall opening to the lake. There are multiple cozy seating areas, including a screened lower deck perfect for evenings. The house is set in a peaceful cove with direct access to the big lake, which made it feel private and serene. Every room has special touches that made us feel at home. Even on a rainy day, we enjoyed ourselves by reading and working on a puzzle together. Wildlife was part of the magic—we were visited daily by four deer, spotted woodpeckers, and listened to the songs of many birds. The hosts provided so many thoughtful extras: a Nespresso machine with two types of pods, s’mores supplies (which gave our son memories he’ll cherish forever), kayaks, and life vests. We are truly grateful for everything and for the hosts’ generosity in sharing this wonderful home. We hope to return
